Indian Subcontinent

Around the Annapurnas

This is one of Nepal's most renowned treks. The route climbs gradually along the Marsyangdi gorge through the remote valley of Manang to crest the arid, windswept northern flank of Annapurna at the Thorong La, a high but straightforward pass at 5300 meters. The route then joins the ancient trading link beside the Kali Gandaki river.

This trek, a shortened version of the full 20-day Around Annapurna trek, omits the final week of trekking though the Gurung villages and rhododendron forests of midland Nepal; instead trekkers who leave the trail at Jomsom enjoy the spectacular flight to Pokhara, which allows you to see the mountains you have been circumnavigating for the past two weeks from a new and exciting perspective.
